DNA Methylation Changes Are Associated With an Incremental Ascent to High Altitude

DNA Methylation Changes Are Associated With an Incremental Ascent to High Altitude

Genetic and nongenetic factors are involved in the individual ability to physiologically acclimatize to high-altitude hypoxia through processes that include increased heart rate and ventilation. High-altitude acclimatization is thought to have a genetic component, yet it is unclear if other factors,...
